Wish

Chapter 10

Letters, Emotions, Dresses, Swords and Tempers.

----------------------------------------------

"Why didn't you go to the hospital."

My god was he demanding. "Why do you care?"

-----------------

Actually, Gaara had no idea why he cared. That was what he was trying to figure out before she had came into his office. His response was a grunt, and a smirk from her.

"So you must care to hesitate, ne?" She paused for a moment. "Why am I here, other than interrogation that isn't really working?"

Gaara stayed quiet, not saying anything. The only sounds heard were the breathing of the two.

"You have a letter… How would they know you're here?"

"It scares me to think you can speak more than six words.. Really."

"Answer my question."

"How about no?"

"I will kill you."

"You'd kill me even if I tell you why I was here. If your just going to kill me, do it. Now, would you please, Kagekaze-sama give me the letter?"

Gaara grunted once again, and handed her the letter, which she happily snatched out of his hand and opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. Her eyes scanned through the page, before crumpling it into a ball.

"Tch.. Send my 'brother' and my… adopted father…" She growled lowly, eyes glaring at the floor.

"Try not to kill them in Suna."

She nodded, looking confused and left his office, leaving him to stand there with his thoughts.

---------------------------------------

Maybe it was because she had spoke to him like she didn't fear him? Maybe it was because in her own way, she was scared and lost, just like he was. There were many possibilities as to why she intrigued him so much. He knew for sure that her aura was.. off in some way or another. It just didn't sit right with him. It felt as though, when she seemed angry the other night, it stirred something inside of him, like Shukaku did when he wanted to kill.

When her chakra was fluctuating; now that he remembered, she had broke through his sand. Though he had lost Shukaku to Akatsuki, he still has a considerable amount of chakra to hold the sand together tightly, but yet she broke out of the sand as if it was nothing, like a hot knife to butter…

She was surly a puzzle to figure out; one moment, she could be nice, then the next sarcastic, then mad. She was worse than Temari when it was her 'time of the month'. Gaara sighed, as he made his way back to his chair and sat down.

It was probably all the pain he saw in her eyes every time he saw her. It was hidden, but he could see it as if he was reading a book. He could never do that to anyone other than her. Maybe she allowed him to see her emotions? Or was it something else…? Something that had to be awakened soon… before chaos ran through the world.

---------------------------------------

Was that advice, or was she going insane now? Anyways, she shrugged her shoulders. She had left the office and was now walking down the streets of Suna, looking at various shops for clothing and whatnot. She needed to by more equipment and cloths for Suna.. It was just too hot for her liking. Spotting a rather… rundown place, she walked over and started to look through the clothes they had in store. She spotted a really nice white dress - something she would never usually wear; but either way it looked extremely nice.

The design of the dress was like a halter top with some black designs on the back. From the hips, the dress flowed out, making it look bigger - yet not making one look fatter. The color was a light silver, and as it went down got lighter. Around the middle of the thigh, the dress was crumpled, but had black in the middle of the crumple, hence bringing the front the dress up to show the shoes or boots one would wear. In the back it was long, and at the bottom it was crumpled as well, and some more dress just hung freely.

(A/n: My poor description of writing out what Amy Lee's dress looks like on the Album Cover of The Open Door. )

Alix smiled to herself, fingering the tag. She knew it was going to be expensive.. But either was she would buy it, no matter how much it cost her. Turning the tag around, she saw that it was one hell of a pricey dress. There was no way she could buy it! Unless.. She somehow got a discount… Ah it was useless..

She sighed and walked out the store and back onto the streets. She continued to walk around, mostly focusing on weapon shops, until she finally found a really good one. Walking in, she saw a Katana that instantly caught her eye. Running over to it, she looked at the designs.

The katana was apparently one-of-a-kind, according to the owner of the sword. It had red designs carved into the black blade. The red designs apparently meant something symbolic in an old religion. The handle was made out of silver and gold, the tip being pointed so that one could stab someone with the handle.

"…They say that it rejects anyone who isn't worthy of the sword. That if the sword accepts you then you are it's master… but nonetheless, I need to make profit, so it'll still go as priced."

The owner grinned, his half-toothless smile scaring her. She smiled lightly, and nodded.

"May I?"

The owner nodded and watched as Alix put her hand on the hilt. Sounds of electricity entered the two's head, before subsiding with Alix's hand on the blade. Small lightning bolts of a sword roamed around her hand and she pulled it out of the case. "Wow."

"Out of 1000 people… you…. You're it's master!" He paused. "1000 bucks." (A/n: I'm too lazy to convert, sue me. )

Alix nodded and handed him the money, literally emptying her wallet, but she didn't really care. This sword would go well with the dress she wanted to buy… Fighting in a dress like that wasn't really all that good of an idea.. But it was awesome nonetheless.

Waving goodbye to the owner, after grabbing the sheath she walked out the store and hooked the sword to her waist.

---------------------------

"Alix-chan! Where have you been?"

The first thing she heard once she walked through that door was MaiAki's voice screaming as the door opened.

"God, MaiAki, calm down.."

"why? You didn't tell me when you were going to be back!"

"You're not my… my mother! Alright, and you didn't tell me about you and Batman being together! 'The hell is wrong with you? I'm your sister… and you keep these things from me. It makes me wonder if I should even trust you anymore!"

She really, really didn't mean it. She wished that MaiAki didn't hear that. But we all know these wish's can't come true. MaiAki was stunned to hear that from her. Tears started to brim her eyes as she looked away.

"If that's how it is… I'm going to stay with Kankuro-kun… Maybe if Mike was here he'd be supportive!"

And like that, MaiAki walked out of the room, slamming the door.

What had she done?
